This was the 15th Annual Mielke Family Thanksgiving Dinner. I love hosting Thanksgiving Dinner and after fifteen years, I feel like I sort of have it down. It's really quite an easy party to host: the menu rarely changes (although I suggest a taco bar every year - and every year my family shoots it down), the guest list varies only slightly (we always have room for more), and there's always entertaiment (good or bad - it's always entertaining). This year did not disappoint. We welcomed a new member to the Thanksgiving fold: Jayken made his Thanksgiving debut and enjoyed being passed from person to person. We had a rousing game of croquet at the park and we enjoyed a bonfire in the backyard where we were entertained by Garth and Gert figuring out their phones.

| Gert and Garth: far too young to look this old. I loved the matching glasses-on-the-nose look. |
